Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for September 23, 1999

WWF co-owner - now chairman - Vince McMahon shows up to start tonight's show. He introduces the fans to the man who claims to be the next WWF Champion and the man to win the first-ever Six-Pack Challenge to win the title at Unforgiven this Sunday: Triple H. Triple H and Chyna show up. Now that he is back in control of the WWF, being called an asshole is not good for Triple H. The headache he gave him on Raw is nothing compared to "the full-blown migraine" he will give him tonight. He doesn't want Triple H to think he holds a grudge just because he attempted and threatened bodily harm on every one of his family members, attempted to manhandle his son, soon-to-be son-in-law and wife, and busted him open. Instead of holding a grudge, he will get even, and rather than wait until this Sunday's Six-Pack Challenge, he will have face all those opponents individually. He will face The Rock in a Brahma Bullrope Match, The Undertaker is a Casket Match, Mankind in a Boiler Room Brawl, Kane in an Inferno Match, and Big Show in a Choke Slam Challenge Match. In fairness, he does not have to win all the matches to keep his place at Unforgiven, saying three out of five will do it. An angry Triple H lashes out at Vince, but Vince tells him to save his aggression for his Choke Slam Challenge Match with Big Show, which happens next.

Big Show beats Triple H in a Choke Slam Challenge, being able to choke slam Triple H before he can do the same to Big Show. After the match, Big Show choke slams Triple H again. Harvey Wippleman is the referee for this match. Triple H is 0-1 in his challenge.

We see footage from outside the arena from earlier today where the referees are on strike. The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray and D-Von Dudley) attack Teddy Long with garbage cans to send a message to The Acoltyes (Faarooq and Bradshaw), saying they've made it personal.

Stanley Cup champion Brett Hull is in the audience with his son.

Lilian Garcia interviews Chris Jericho, who says he has challenged "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock to a First Blood Match because he has proven week after week that he, not Shamrock, is the world's most dangerous man, and he will not wait until Sunday to see his blood and end his career. When his blood is shed all across the ring, it had better not get on his clothes as he guarantees that everyone will not see his own blood tonight.

D'Lo Brown guests on commentary for the next match.

X-Pac beats "Sexual Chocolate" Mark Henry by count-out. "Doctor" Tom Prichard is the referee for this match. "Sexual Chocolate" Mark Henry retains the WWF European Championship. After the match, D'Lo Brown go at it near the commentary table, and Henry sends D'Lo into the ring post.

Lilian Garcia interviews Luna Vachon, who likes to thanks Ivory forgiving a shot at the WWF Women's Championship as she finally gets her opportunity to take the title and put it around her waist where it belongs. He then asks one more favor of Ivory: make it a hardcore match.

Jeff Jarrett and Miss Kitty show up. Debra is conspicuous by her absence. Jarrett introduces himself and says he is a man's man and that this is a man's world. He says men are dominant and women are weak, and when he bitch slaps Chyna at Unforgiven, she will understand reality. Jarrett then says that Debra's "malnourished puppies" are at home, licking their wounds, because she entered his world and got the Figure Four Leg Lock for it. Jarrett then eyes a female stage manager at ringside who is telling him to wrap his promo up, calls her a skank, and asks if she is telling him what to do. He gets out of the ring, tosses her notes into the ring and tells her to get in there and do what women are designed to do: clean crap up. After she gets in, Jarrett attempts to lock in the Figure Four Leg Lock when Chyna runs in and hits Jarrett in the back of the head with a frying pan. He then places a frying pan and soup ladle in his hands before dressing him in the apron before taking Jarrett's wrestling shorts and putting them on. Chyna tells Jarrett that at Unforgiven, he will be seeing who is wearing the pants as well as his Intercontinental title.

Triple H beats Kane in an Inferno match. . The Brooklyn Brawler is the referee in this match. During the match, X-Pac is seen lying on the stage, and Kane notices this as well as The Undertaker, Mideon and Viscera approaching X-Pac, who is bloodied. Kane goes up to the top rope, jumps over the flames and goes after Mideon and Viscera, who set Kane on fire, ending the match. After the match, Kane checks on X-Pac. Triple H is now 1-1 in his challenge.

Kane is distraught after the pain that X-Pac has been put through. Lilian Garcia is then seen interviewing The Undertaker, Big Show, The Undertaker, Mideon and Viscera. The Undertaker asks Big Show if he warned him about what would happen if he betrayed him. He says that Kane is now sitting there like a sniveling little idiot holding X-Pac in his hands. The Undertaker says their job is done, and that it is time to venture off into the night. Lilian Garcia reminds The Undertaker about his Casket Match about Triple H, but The Undertaker says nobody orders him to do something he does not want to do, and that there will be no Casket Match. WWF Chairman Vince McMahon shows up and confronts him about it, and says he will not be in the Six-Pack Challenge at Unforgiven. The Undertaker then says he may not be participating in anything, and tells Vince to deal with that.

Before the next match, The Rock says Triple H runs his mouth about how he is "the game," and tells him to go back to the drawing board because his game plan absolutely sucks. He also has a game of his own: earlier tonight, he was talking to a couple of athletes by the name of Mike Modano and Brett Hull, and he told them that tonight, he will whip Triple H's ass all over the arena in the first-ever Brahma Bull Match, but he wanted to do something a little extra special for Dallas, Texas. He asked if he could borrow the Stanley Cup, and after they agreed, he says that this game is special as he will take the Cup, hold it up to the light, shine it up real nice, turn it sideways and stick it up Triple H's candy ass. Mankind shows up, and tells The Rock that he does not know a lot about Lord Stanley, but when he heard The Rock needed a cup, he got him one. He then pulls out a protective cup, as he speaks for everyone when he says that "The People's Jewels" must be protected so that one day, we can have a "Rocky Jr." running around. He has to disagree with him on one thing: he wants to see the Brahma Bull Match, but he says people want to see his Boiler Room Brawl match more. He says he knows every inch of the boiler room, and what he has there is a special metal pipe. He plans to take that metal pipe, shine it up real nice, turn it sideways and...hit him right over the head with it, due to The Rock starting a hole through him. Suddenly, "Road Dogg" Jesse James is seen for the frist time since Chris Jericho injured his back five weeks ago. He tells The Rock and Mankind are overlooking the fact that they are the WWF Tag Team Champions, and that means a little something to him. He says he's got registry at The Smackdown Hotel, but he is not sleeping single as nobody wants to see a Brahma Bullrope Match or a Boiler Room Brawl, but they do want to see a tag team match. He brings out "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn, and for the first time since earlier this year, Road Dogg and Mr. Ass are back together as The New Age Outlaws. He then tells The Rock to reach down and see if he an find his family jewels. Mankind says he is a big fan of The New Age Outlaws, but if they want to challenge them for the tag titles, The Rock 'n Sock Connection back down from no one.

The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) beat The Rock and Mankind to win the WWF Tag Team Championships for the fourth time. This is the fourth reign for Road Dogg and the seventh for Billy Gunn. Interestingly, the referee for this match is Jimmy Korderas, even though the regular referees are on strike. After the match, The New Age Outlaws reintroduce themselves.

WWF Chairman Vince McMahon tells Mideon and Viscera that tonight's Casket Match will be a handicap match between them and Triple H. Meanwhile, Chyna tells Triple H to give up the challenge, but Triple H refuses to give up, and he says that he will not let Vince McMahon break him down.

Al Snow is waiting for someone backstage. He also finds out his watch is broken.

Triple H beats Mideon and Viscera in a 2-on-1 Handicap Casket Match after Viscera accidentally splashes Mideon, allowing Chyna to hit a confused Viscera with a low blow and Triple H to hit both Viscera and Mideon with Pedigrees before placing Mideon in the casket. At least, that is what Triple H thinks. After the match, WWF co-owner Shane McMahon shows up and tells Triple H he has not won yet as he has to place Viscera in the casket as well.

Viscera and Mideon beat Triple H in a 2-on-1 Handicap Casket Match. Harvey Wippleman and The Brooklyn Brawler are the referees for this match. Triple H is now 1-2 in the Triple H Challenge.

Lilian Garcia interviews Ivory, who is concerned to get in the ring with Luna Vachon, saying she is crazy and that rules do not apply to her. At the same time, she has something to defend that has honor, dignity and class. She accepts Luna's challenge to a hardcore match at Unforgiven, as she is not willing to let Luna embarrass the title.

Before the next match, Hardcore Holly says that earlier this week on Raw, he did him and Pepper a favor by beating the hell out of The Big Boss Man, leaving him blind and senseless. He wants Al Snow to return the favor by coming down to the ring. Before he can say more, Snow shows up. This starts their match.

Hardcore Holly beats Al Snow. During the match, The Big Boss Man is seen backstage via the TitanTron, having attacked a dog handler while mocking the Rottweilers. After this, Crash Holly distracts Snow by trying to attack him, but even after Snow fights back, Hardcore Holly takes advantage. After the match, Boss Man shows up with a dog chain wrapped around his hand, and punches out both Hardcore Holly and Al Snow. He then pulls out a can of Alpo dog food, and tries to shove it down Snow's throat.

"Doctor" Tom Prichard is the referee for the next match: the Boiler Room Brawl between Triple H and Mankind. As soon as Triple H gets in the boiler room. Prichard immediately locks the door on him and Mankind immediately goes on the attack.

Triple H beats Mankind in a Boiler Room Brawl after Mankind tries to jump from 15 feet into the air only to pushed off and into a nearby table.

The British Bulldog looks for WWF Chairman Vince McMahon backstage.

Before the next match, Chris Jericho shows up dressed in Buffalo Sabres hockey gear, complete with helmet and hockey stick.

Chris Jericho beats "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock in a First Blood Match following multiple blows with a hockey stick and a top rope splash while still wearing hockey equipment, causing Shamrock to bleed internally. Harvey Wippleman is the referee for this match.

The British Bulldog talks with WWF Chairman Vince McMahon, saying tht that he was promised a shot at the WWF Championship Match. Bulldog is placed in the Six-Pack Challenge at Unforgiven, replacing The Undertaker. The Bulldog then says he wants to return the favor by being the special guest referee in the Brahma Bullrope Match between Triple H and The Rock. Vince makes it so.

Triple H beats The Rock in a Brahma Bullrope Match. During the match, Jeff Jarrett shows up from out of the crowd, hits her in the back of the head with a frying pan, places the frying pan in her hand and then applies the Figure Four Leg Lock on her as she is knocked out cold before retreating through the crowd as The British Bulldog, The Rock and Triple H are on the stage. Shortly after this, The British Bulldog clotheslines The Rock before hitting him with the running powerslam, despite having a confrontation with Triple H earlier in the match. Triple H hits the Pedigree to win the Triple H Challenge 3-2 and save his spot in the Six-Pack Challenge at Unforgiven. After the match, Bulldog and Triple H continue to attack The Rock.
